The Supreme Court has ruled that the 2nd amendment applies to individual citizens. But how does that affect you? How does it affect the lives of your and your children? Who is packing a pistol? Should you be carrying one too? What you should know before you step out your front door.

If you are anti-guns, or afraid of guns, or just don't like them and don't want them in your house, then this blog is for you.(It might just change your mind)

LOL of the day: Free Ammo - Govnerment handouts!

Right to free ammo!
By mawmd @ TypicalShooter

Dear President Obama,

I applaud that chic who testified before the world that the right to
free abortion drugs and contraception is more important than the right
to free expression of religion. It helps us see clearly the only other
problem that is actually more important: the right to free ammunition.

Let me be clear, it is a God given right to keep and bear arms, and
that right shall not be infringed. Well, with the recent price increases
of all ammunition, including practice grade, that right is almost gone.
I personally know students who can no longer afford to load their
primary magazine to full capacity, let alone carry spares!

Now what about safety? Clearly a person who keeps and bears arms but
cannot afford to practice is much more dangerous than one who hits what
she’s aiming at. This economic issue has potential to result in
increases in collateral damage during self defense shootings. Nine out
of ten doctors surveyed prefer to keep the innocent bystanders from
getting injured.

I’m also thinking of the poor innocent animals. PETA agrees they have
a right to a clean humane one shot instant kill when being hunted. But
with the skill of hunters slowly eroding due to the unjustifiable cost
of practice rounds, they will be more likely to merely wound their
intended prey, leaving them to die slowly and painfully.

Now an important point is that both cases underscore the right to
personal protection. Contraception in the form of a barrier such as a
condom protects against unwanted sexually transmitted diseases as well
as pregnancy- most of the time. Unfortunately, even if you can convince
the rapist to use a condom, there’s still the rape part.. NOW agrees
properly loaded and available firearm also protects against unwanted
sexually transmitted diseases in the case of attempted rape, but is more
efficient in that the rape itself is prevented. That’s a good thing.
And the bad guy gets to have his potential to rape again prevented
should the firearm be used towards the offending area…

There are other economic impacts as well. Katherine Sebelius,
secretary of health and human services recently pointed out that
preventing a baby more than makes up for the cost of taking care of that
baby. Indeed, preventing a violent criminal from going to jail is much
more economically efficient than taking care of that murderer for life,
even with the high cost of ammo. But of course, should the ammo be
provided free by the government, the widespread use of defensive rounds
will more than make up for the cost through the decrease in prison
overcrowding. And of course that is more humane to the less violent
felons who will have better accommodations and smaller classes which
train them to reintegrate into society in meaningful ways and to vote
Democrat.

Prevention of crime will also rise for all the poor and
disenfranchised in the inner cities who have to pay a premium for ammo.
It is truly racist that ammunition costs more in the areas where it is
needed the most. I’ve taken the liberty of contacting the Reverend
Jackson and he’s all in. The redistribution of ammunition from the rich
1% to the needy 99% is truly the highest form of social justice. If
ghetto dwellers were able to afford ammo, the criminals would move away
to other countries where they stand a better chance of perpetrating
their crimes without the annoyance of risking injury. Like England.

Obviously, more ammunition available means more workers to
manufacture it. People have to make the ammo. That translates into more
green jobs. Recycling will increase for the brass that goes into the shell casings, so it is a green
endeavor that will save the planet and decrease greenhouse gasses since
no coal is used in the manufacturing process. Think Greenpeace.

So I think we can clearly see the multiple societal benefits from
social justice, eliminating the debt crisis, all the way to saving the
planet from one simple government program, and the full spectrum of
special interest groups who will be grateful for your courage to lead in
this area. I thank you for your agreement and hope to see the “Heaven
on Earth through ballistic redistribution” bill passed real soon.

True Hoplophobia, or the fear of guns, is a mental illness which, like other true phobias, incapacitates its victims with anxiety, shortness of breath, inability to think clearly and rationally. Obviously, we who are fearful of guns and their destructive power don't have true Hoplophobia. But we are still afraid. Why?

PRO GUN QUOTES

Gun control:The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound. - L. Neil Smith

Gun control has not worked in D.C. The only people who have guns are criminals. We have the strictest gun laws in the nation and one of the highest murder rates. It's quicker to pull your Smith and Wesson than to dial 911 if you're being robbed. - Lieutenant Lowell Duckett, President Black Police Caucus, Special Assistant to Washington, D.C. Police Chief

They have gun control in Cuba. They have universal health care in Cuba. So why do they want to come here? - Paul Harvey, 1994

Suppose the Second amendment said A well-educated electorate being necessary for self-governance in a free state, the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed. Is there anyone who would suggest that means only registered voters have a right to read? - Robert Levy, Georgetown University Professor

We should not blame a gun itself for any crime or any acts of violence, any more than we can blame a pen for misspelling a word. - Senator Bennett (R-UT), Congressional Record, 5/16/68

When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. - Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President of the United States

PRO GUN CONTROL QUOTES

For target shooting, that's okay. Get a license and go to the range. For defense of the home, that's why we have police departments.- James Brady

The most effective means of fighting crime in the United States is to outlaw the possession of any type of firearm by the civilian populace.- Janet Reno

We need to stand firm on behalf of sensible gun control legislation. We have to enact laws that will keep guns out of the hand of children and criminals and mentally unbalanced persons.- Hillary Clinton

Without stronger, sensible gun laws, thousands upon thousands of people will continue to die and be injured needlessly each year.- Brady Campaign

We don't need any additional gun laws, we need to enforce the ones that we've got!- Anonymous

One third of all households with children younger than eighteen have a firearm-Brady Campaign

If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out-right ban, picking up every one of them... 'Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in,' I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here.-Senator Dianne Feinstein

This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!- Adolph Hitler
